We are moved by the sad plight of people who have only a hand to mouth existence and who are crushed under the grinding wheel of Fate! A poem written with great depth of feeling!

:) . actually that car hits, and then there would be no poem, let's try some time travel. Nice reading, reading the monotonous life and everything is no more shocking than a beautiful and sudden death.

You certainly do not limit yourself to structure or topic or world view. This is such an outstanding poem just as so many of your other works are but it is off in its own new field of thought and elements of style. I cannot tell you how much I like what you've done here- -it is starkly real but there is an undercurrent of caring about these people- -they are not just something to write about, the reader feels they are real and their sadnesses and their follies are important to you and to us . 10+++++++++++++++

Wow, Susan. Thank you so very much. This piece really took a long time to finish, or to get to this incarnation. And you are right, as per usual. I did really work for realism. So I really wanted to 'strip away, all and everything but key images/imagery. Thank you so very much.

Hi Soul, absolutely right about the scenarios from and of daily life. You also did remind me of that razor thin margin between comedy and tragedy.

A well penned poem on the terrible plight of the poor. I am so grateful for our public health and our welfare system here in New Zealand. We are so lucky.

Thank you so much, Simone. Yes, I too am grateful for the public health system here. It always seems that some do somehow manage to slip past care....
